Default just starting my e-maxx 4 link.

Hey, last nite at 1.30 am i decided to strip my e-maxx down so i have the axles and the gearbox.
Ive always wanted a 4 link but were never confident enough to tear into my new e-maxx.

Now that its 3 -4 years old im going for it.
I already have a few things such as imex jumbo maxx wheels/tires, front and rear spools, hi torque steering servo, and stainless steel drive shafts.

I read that alot of people go for a 16" wheel base so i will also.
How high ground clearence should i approximatly have from the ground to the belly?
And how do i attach the links so the axle doesnt sway side to side, do i put a ball joint on both ends of the link?

Help is apreciated,
In the mean time ill do wot i know and lock the a arms up!

Thanks.

Take a look at this thread, the group gave me this thread to help with a problem I was having building my tube maxx crawler. It has lots of info and if you study the pic's will tell you most of what you need to do.

Soya's maxx is going solid.
